No Wembley return for beaten finalists Southampton as Wolves spring a surprise

23 August 2017 10:23

Last season's runners-up are out of the Carabao Cup as Southampton were stunned 2-0 at home by Championship side Wolves.

Southampton, who lost 3-2 to Manchester United in February's final at Wembley, fell at the first hurdle this time.

Danny Batth headed in Ivan Cavaleiro's corner in the 67th minute and substitute Donovan Wilson ran through to make it 2-0 with three minutes left.

It was Wolves' third Premier League scalp in cup competitions during 2017, following FA Cup wins against Stoke and Liverpool last season - and came despite boss Nuno Espirito Santo making 11 changes from Saturday's defeat to Cardiff.

Burnley's 2-0 victory against bitter rivals Blackburn at Ewood Park was marred by fans running on to the pitch.
